RBrowserLite

Free and good.


But seriously, there must be dozens of free FTP clients for OS X that do their job well. Find more here: http://www.macorchard.com/ftp.html.

Check out VersionTracker. I use Fetch, but a lot of people swear by Transmit.

yes it is probably the prettiest and best overall but a few bugs still linger.

Another Transmit user that says, 'give it a try'

Panic does a very nice, good looking stuff. Panic.com looks so clear and elegant.

Transmit.

And for a newsreader, Unison.

Both from Panic. I *love* their stuff. Simple, nice.

RBrowserLite is fine, it has some quirks but for the amount of FTP i do (not that much, use WebDAV more these days) its fine... and free!

I used CuteFTP back in my Windows days, and when GlobalSCAPE released a Mac OS X version I decided to keep supporting them. The Mac version is still young and a little rough around the edges, but it's fast and has all the features I need.

Anyone know where the 2.2b4 source is? I keep getting 404'd when trying to download it from the cyberduck site.
